Who doesn't love chocolate? And with cherries?!? I mean, this has to be one of my favorite smoothie and now oat concoctions! I need to have something readily accessible for my husband and I to grab and go in the morning. We are both usually busy with our little one and out the door to work or I'm off teaching a fitness class! Life is just easier if we have something that's readily available to us to grab and head out of the door without having to grab something that isn't so healthy.

I'm always looking for new smoothie ideas and I love the idea of adding turmeric to a smoothie I just wanted to figure out a way to mask the taste without adding loads of sugar! The reason I like to use turmeric is because it is one of many ways to reduce inflammation in the body. And why would one want to do that? Because inflammation is the main cause for most of the problems we have going on in our bodies.

Now regardless of if you like beets or not, you absolutely need to try this recipe! I've made these burgers a couple of different times and typically just make a huge batch of 15 or so burgers and keep a few in the fridge for the week and freeze the rest. They are perfect for on-the-go where you don't have to think about a meal and you know its packed with veggies and nutrients.
Now, what I can say is these things are messy. Its a bit time consuming, especially if you make a double/triple batch like I do. However, know it will save you a lot of time throughout the week.

Some days I feel like more than others and today I just wanted something healthy and fast. I scurried through the cabinets and found I had this bag of lentil pasta. And when I say lentil pasta, I mean made from straight lentils. So, protein and nutrient rich and also, very dense! It is one of my favorites when I want a hearty and filling meal that's going to satisfy me for the entire evening. Well it does that and then some. Unlike traditional pasta, lentil pasta doesn't have the sugar and processed ingredients so you don't end up feeling hungry 2 hours later. So not only is it a great filler but it's easy to add in some veggies and whip up a meal that is macro nutrient dense.

Get ready to wow your tastebuds with some zing and zang!
